Arising in the 1800s and soon drawing a million readers a day, the
commercial press profoundly influenced the work of Bronte, Braddon,
Dickens, Conrad, James, Trollope, and others who mined print
journalism for fictional techniques. Five of the most important of
these narrative conventions--the shipping intelligence, personal
advertisement, leading article, interview, and foreign
correspondence--show how the Victorian novel is best understood
alongside the simultaneous development of newspapers. In highly
original analyses of Victorian fiction, this study also captures
the surprising ways in which public media enabled the expression of
private feeling among ordinary readers: from the trauma caused by a
lover's reported suicide to the vicarious gratification felt during
a celebrity interview; from the distress at finding one's behavior
the subject of unflattering editorial commentary to the
apprehension of distant cultures through the foreign
correspondence. Combining a wealth of historical research with a
series of astute close readings, The Novelty of Newspapers breaks
down the assumed divide between the epoch's literature and
journalism and demonstrates that newsprint was integral to the
development of the novel."
